    Plugin that logs use/placement of items?

    Which ever you do choose, if it uses a database backend, like MySQL, then read on: Be knowledgeable about how to make regular backups of the actual database so that if you had to, you could load the data back into a new provision of MySQL. In fact setup your cron to make backups of that data...

    im Looking For the best server host?

    I've been using AllGamer.net for some time. The hardware is up to date. root shell. vpsuser or dedicated HW. The staff know their schitt and respond promptly. I pay about 160/month for a 8-core, 16Gb, dedicated server (not vps). SSD and fairly good network presence. It's equivalent to my...

    Mod Packs still not downloading

    Its not Java nor FTB issue. Your installation is holding some data that is incorrect. I hate to ask this-- but under Options, select a new folder, choose Unleashed, Launch

    Mod Packs still not downloading

    If this is still an issue ... It may be cold comfort, but I was able to provision a new win8 box, dropped Java on it ( latest _45) and then FTB, then Unleashed. Here's the logs for output-client.log and Forge logs (two parts, thanks pastebin, meh) output-log: http://pastebin.com/KQuj4V8m...

    Mod Packs still not downloading

    I tried to replicate the problem on a windows7 ia64 machine. I couldn't. It downloaded OK. Your version of Java JRE is right. I'll provision a Win8 box here and try to repro it on Win8 (your OS). The timeout error in the log makes me suspect that there's a problem with the network at your...

    Good Specs for FTB

    Ah, my bad. What happened. Hmm 4 cores but not any benefit of hyperthreading. If it was me and my system, the most I could spend on CPU and mobo is where you get the best bang for buck. I run an 8 core w/ hyper threading for 16, 32gb RAM, and SSD. I bolt the "PC" to a sheet of plexiglass. No...

    JVM Arguments for Modded Minecraft (Updated 12/30/13)

    Somewhat related to this performance thread; I read this and got a handful of "ah-moments" on the functioning of the server: http://www.sk89q.com/2013/03/improving-your-minecraft-servers-performance/

    Custom "Failed to Load mods" message

    OK. That makes sense. In searching for posts about this, I stumbled across an interesting way to handle it. Reply #8 is my favorite. Just kidding. http://www.sgtekkit.net/threads/cant-connect-to-the-server.7778/

    Custom "Failed to Load mods" message

    I don't know if this is configurable -- Maybe too specifc to the server to be something that FTB-Launcher can deal with.... So, in the Launcher (the client) There is this message from the FTB/Launcher that begins "Forge Mod Loader could not connect to this server.. The mods and versions listed...

    FTB/MagicFarm - Tool and Smeltery Primer

    I think you're right about the elevation of the sink. Clay should be easier to find, I wasn't in a clay rich biome.

    Server Promotion Section Granularity (??)

    What do you propose"redone" looks like? I agree it should be altered, but don't know what is the best hierarchy to use.

    Server Promotion Section Granularity (??)

    Would it be reasonable to give finer granularity to the Server Promotion section? Currently (top to bottom) we have Ultimate Mindcrack Direwolf20 MagicWorld Universal Electricity Pack Others I don't suggest breaking the Forum but instead creating the sections at the same level...

    FTB/MagicFarm - Tool and Smeltery Primer

    Ah OK. Thanks for that information. I will experiment again and make adjustments to the document to reduce the prerequisite material list. That will definitely save some time by requiring less Clay (the Achilles Heel to the Smeltery operation). Next challenge is to convert it all into...

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    MFarm at version 4.0 (we run 4.0) replaced MineFantasy with Tinker's Construct and IguanaTweeks. The Blooms of MFantasy were causing crashes for various reasons. So, the bottom line is that crafting a bucket is impossible, AFAIK. I would love to be wrong. There are these "Seared {Stone?}...

    Tinkers Construct smeltery questions.

    In FTB/MagicFarm Iron Ore is not yielded with stone tools. The progression is Flint (tool) -> Copper (tool) -> Bronze (tool) -> Iron (tool) Flint tools yield Copper Ore and Aluminum Ore (and other non metallic resources) Copper tools yield Tin Ore, plus whatever Flint tools yield. Tin and...
